New Era EK

New Era EK actually started before baseball was America’s Pastime and long before the fitted baseball cap was a style essential. It was founded in 1920 by German immigrant Ehrhardt Koch, who helped to pioneer some of the Gatsby-era fashion caps that we now so closely associate with the Roaring Twenties. The company eventually began focusing on making practical and stylish athletic caps and today the New Era EK baseball cap is the official on-field cap for every Major League Baseball team.

In addition to classic New Era EK hats, we also offer a variety of unique, fashion-focused New Era EK hat styles at Hats in the Belfry, like pub caps, fedora hats, driver/ivy caps and bucket hats. New Era EK fedoras are designed to blend classic and contemporary hat features, like soft linen or cotton blend bodies that are styled with cool, modern hatbands. We also offer duckbill caps and other English-inspired styles from the New Era EK Collection.
